2011-2012 Annual Report
Letter from the Head of School and Board President A
cademic year 2011-2012 gave us much to celebrate. With the start of 2012-2013 comes the year-long celebration of the school’s first decade - on several levels. First, let’s celebrate the student body. Students arrive at EPS each morning ready to learn and they encounter a faculty eager to teach. As one student put it recently when discussing his newfound thirst for knowledge, “I didn’t know how much I liked knowing things.” Honestly, it just doesn’t get much better than that! Second, let’s celebrate the faculty. We have teachers pursuing higher levels of education and teachers having babies (or as we like to say, the Class of 2029). Most important is the relationship among the faculty and students, which is visible every day. A parent wrote to us earlier in the year and said that “…EPS has provided a support network and just plain believed in (our child). We don’t think he would have experienced this in other learning environments.” EPS was founded on the principle of reaching a diverse group of learners who get along and include each other. Thanks to the colleagueship and positive energy of EPS faculty, students and staff, we have been able to create just such a place.
